Process

Preheat the oven to 170° celsius.

Butter and line a square baking tin with baking parchment.

Melt the chocolate and butter with a pinch of salt in a double boiler over low heat and once melted, set aside to cool slightly.

Whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla until pale, thick and doubled in size.

Pour in the melted chocolate and butter.

Sieve in the flour, cocoa and flour then gently fold the mixture into itself until just combined. If you’re adding nuts, fruit or sweets, now is the time to toss them in for a final fold.

Pour into the baking tin and bake for 20 minutes. The centre should be still gooey.

Cool in the baking tin until ready to be cut into squares or whatever other shape you fancy.
